Aggrieved by a left-leaning newspaper’s publication of documents detailing a military police raid on Turkish Intelligence Agency trucks traveling to Syria, Ankara officials are demanding that Twitter block the newspaper’s account. If the San Francisco-based social network doesn’t fully comply, the government may outright shutter the service in the country, according to a report.

The New York Times reported that Turkish officials issued the demand this week following a decision in a local court in southern Turkish province of Adana. The court sided with the government’s stance that national security was compromised by BirGun newspaper’s publication of the sensitive documents.

Turkish news media reported that Twitter, Facebook and Google Plus have complied with the court order, but BirGun newspaper a number of Twitter users continued to defy the ban and post new messages. Twitter refused to block the newspaper’s account – only blocking certain messages that “BirGun had posted showing images of leaked documents in which the military police were said to have confirmed that the trucks contained weapons and explosives,” according to the Times, which added “the documents also said the weapons were destined for Al Qaeda.

Government opposition have claimed the intelligence agency’s trucks carried weapons destined for the Syrian fighters attempting to overthrow President Bashar al-Assad. Turkish government has denounced these claims, staying on message that the trucks were loaded with humanitarian aid for the Turkmen minority in Syria, the Times reported.

Last March, Twitter and YouTube were blocked by the government following “leaks of what were said to be government plans for a secret military operation in Syria,” according to the Times. Twitter was back on after two weeks and YouTube after two months.

Twitter spokesman Nu Wexler told the newspaper that the company “withheld access in Turkey to the small number of tweets that discussed the national security issue referenced in the order.”
